I'm relatively new to the manga genre so my ratings will be a bit subject to change as I read more but for now I’m just going with my gut and how much I enjoy them compared to full novels I read. Reviewing a volume is quite tricky as it’s not a complete story and always quite short, but I enjoyed this one as an introduction. 

It's got that squid game vibe and follows a lot of the classic tropes I’ve seen in my limited exposure to the genre, but it’s got a few unique points which make it interesting, and the characters are so far so good but not yet developed as it’s only the first volume. I like the art style the mascot of RA and how different it is to the rest of the characters especially. The ending of volume one is a great cliffhanger and raises some serious questions about the world and I’m really looking forward to picking up the next volume. 

On a more abstract point I’m trying to decide how to manage manga with my reading goals as it can feel a bit of cheat to include a single volume in my reading goals. I’ll probably modify my goal to count 2 or 3 volumes as a ‘book’.
